Goulette urging retroactive cancellation
Province set to en,dcbmputer fees, say bds by Doug Thompson . Imprint staff The controversial computer service fee, first passed b the UW Board of Governors in June of 1985, appears to be in trouble at Queen’s Park According to Federation of Students Vice-president (operations and finance) Carol Goufette, the provincial government is about to rule the fee is really tuition, and thus subject to government regulation. If the fee, which has been called an “incidental fee’: by the univeristy, is deemed by the province to be tuition, UW will be forced to pay it back or face a reduction in government grants equal to the amount of money raised by the fee. Goufette said she was annoyed with the government’s delay in making a decision. In January the Federation organized a fee strike in which many students withheld the computer fee portion of their tuition, pending a provincial ruling on its fegaffty. At that time Greg Sorbara, Ontario minister of colleges and universities, said he would postpone a decision on the legality of the fee until the OCUA (Ontario Council on University Affairs) had decided if this incidental fee was really tuition. Sorbara also said he would make a decision before the end of the winter term. “The end OF term has come and gone” said Goufette, and the university has raised the computer fee by 54 per cent. She said the minister stiff hasn’t released the OCUA findings,
although they were available to the ministry in February. Because of that, the Federation is asking that, if the fee is deemed to be tuition, the university be forced to refund the computer fees being collected for this (spring) term. Goufette is confident the computer fee will be fafxffed tuition, and that UW will no longer be allowed to coffeet it. She is also pressing the government to make the university refund any computer fees collected this term. Those who withheld fees in the winter term will have to pay them now, she says, although no fate fees will be collected by the university. The computer fee, described by Ontario Premier David Peterson as “a sneaky way of jacking up tuition”, levies a separate charge for computer services previously covered under tuition,, and included in tuition charges by all other Ontario universities. The Ontario government- has long demanded the right to set the level of fees charged to students in return for picking up the tab for the bulk of university operating expenses. UWs computer fee opened a loophole in the rules which only regulate “tuition” per se, and not incidental fees. This has left the government with three options. It can abandon its poficy of regulating the fees charged to students by universities, it can rule that the computer fee is tuition and withhold grants from UW, or it can change its regulations to include in-
cidentaf fees as well as tuition. Unless the province abandons its traditional regulation of education
costs to students, UW is going to have to find another way to raise the $1.5 million it hopes to collect from
computer fees in 1986-87. The university is already projecting a %OO,OOOdeficft for that period.
Fee has history of oppositioh by Doug Thompson Imprint staff For those who are new to Waterloo, or have been away from campus for the past couple of terms, here is a brief recap of some of the major events in the computer fee contraversy. June 4.1985 - BOG (Board of Governors) imposes a computer service fee despite student protests fed by student BOG members, Federation of Students President Sonny Ffanagan and Graduate Student -Association President Patricia Lifes.At issue is the $28 to $100 per term increase in tuition above provincial tuition ceifings. The fee raises $1 .l million. UW President Doug Wright says the fees are a present and pressing necessity if UW is to maintain its lead and advantage in computer training. July 26, 1985 - The Graduate Student Association considers a court injuntion to stop the computer fee. September 20, 1985 - As the fall term begins, students find theiraccess to computing services has de creased rather than increased. September 27, 1985 - Work begins to organize a computer fee strike for
January. Deans defend computer fees as a response to general budgetary problems, sa ‘ng it is not intended to be us ecr to ‘%upport and enhance teaching facilities. October 11, 1985 - Federation council slams computer fees as iflegal and claims the extra costs for students will hurt accesibifity.. October 18, 1985 - OFS (Ontario Federation of Students) declares the computer fee is tuition. October 25, 1985 -In a Campus Centre open forum with students and administrators, Sonny Flanagan notes the $1 .I million computer fee matches the $1.1 million deficit in the new Computer Research Building budget. UW President Wright later says this is coincidence. Administrators concede the fee is unfair but insist they need more money for advanced computer research.
November 8, 1985 - a fee strike is officially proclaimed by the Federation. Students are asked to withhold the computer fee for the winter term. November 15,1985 - Greg Sorbara, minister of colleges and universities, says he will refer the question of the computer fee to the OCUA (Ontario Council on University Affairs) to determine whether or not it should be considered tuition. November 29,1985 - More than 200 demonstrators chanting “Accessibifity yes, Computer -fees no” march on Neefdfes Half. Doug Wright says “Unless there is a change in the govemment funding policy, the fee is here to stay.” January 10, 1986 - The administration refuses to register fee strikers for

This never happened, but now it is no longer even theoretically possible.

work equipment needed for the project, and the Watcom Group (a UW spinoff company specialiiing in computer software) has adapted some educational software packages for use with the lap portables. As part of the research project, UW students in various academic areas have been using H-P lap computers in a number of courses offered at uw. Students take their lap computers to several locations on campus, sometimes called “filling and dumping” rooms, where they hook them to a larger computer through a network arrangement. Assignments and programs are fed from the larger computer into the lap computers (the ‘filling” operation). Students then disconnect their lap computers from the network and work on the assignments anywhere (in the library, in labs, on the bus to and from the campus, in their homes, or wherever. . .). They then return and “dump” the completed assignments back into the larger computer; then pick up further assignments and programs and go away once more. The project has been working well according to Dr. Donald Cowan, UW computer science professor and the director of the project. “The work to date has been somewhat tentative in that we have, had absolutely no funding, apart from the fact that machines, equipment and” software have been provided by the cooperating companies,” says Dr. Douglas Wright, UW president. “The new money will permit us to move ahead much more rapidly.” “We can see many long range benefits, not only in terms of using computers in the educational field, but in many other sectors of society as well, as a result of this research,” predicts Prof. J. W. (Wes) Graham, dean of computing and communications at Waterloo. Cowan says the ultimate outcome of the research, in his view, could be

French exchange okayed . An agreement has been signed between the University of Waterloo and the University of Nantes (located at the mouth of the Loire River in Western France) to exchange up to five students a year. These will be students on the co-‘operative timetable (who alternate between campus studies’ and work terms every four months); the exchanges will apply to the students’ work terms as well as to their regular study terms on the campuses. Students from Nantes will be expected to spend their winter terms (January through April) working at co-op jobs in Canada, and be on campus during the fall and spring terms. UW students in France are expected to have their work terms in the summer.This is the second such agreement between UW and a French university; exhanges of engineering co-op students have already taken place with the University of Compeigne. The new agreement was arranged by UWs French department which already has a program at Nantes, though not involving the co-op educational concept. The new program will be open not only to UWs French students but to those in other co-op programs who are proficient enough in the language.

Problems with student-tenants have prompted’ the removal of 50 rental units from the market. Peter Glaser, owner of the Su.nnydale Place complex in Waterloo, says the hassles associated with students outweigh any benefits. Hg plays to.convert the development, which has been occupied by students for 12. ye&q into family residences. . -.:,‘, The continual turnover of occupants andthe amount of damage done to the units mean problems, he said last week. By chtinging over to families, he is looking to reduce the number of headaches. “It’s not a profitable business anymore. What I’d like is to have a little less hassle with (the complex) because it’s not worth it to me,” said Glaser. “It’s not worth it to own something and have a lot of hassles, I’m better off to sell it.” Gla‘Ser said he will spend $100,000 to renovate the townhouses. Most of the units have been damaged and need to be repaired before-new tenants can move in. More than 200 students currently occupy the units, which has resulted in “a good deal of abuse”. Not all the students cause! problems&e said, but the antics of a group of troublemakers add to the bad image student tenants have. He cited the instance of a newlv renovated unit being fillied with two tons of sand for a beach party as claisic abuse. Converting the units will add to the housing shortage, he admits, but the vacancy rate is also low for families, who need places to live as well. “The [units] have been all-student for 12 years, so 1think we’ve done our deed. We’ve been at it foi 12 years, we deserve a break We just want a change and we want to give families a go at it and see if it works any better. Maybe we will even turn it back to students.”

Student housing at Waterloo’s Sunnydale Place k being phased out, eliminating 50 rental units from the already tight market. More than 200 students living there now will eventually be replaced by families. , Owner Peter Glaser recently revoked the rights of tenants to sublet their units without management per. mission. Prospective new tenants must noti be screened for suitability. A letter notifying residents of this decision was recently distributed. The action has prompted many residents there to complain of the owner’s tactics. David Clarke, a UW student who lives at 523Q Sunnydale Place, called the action another of the owner’s “intimidation tactics” designed to force students out of the complex. The Federation of Students office is advising students at Sunnydale not to be pressured by the owner. President Scott Forrest said last week residents should continue to sublet as before. “The (owner) has the right to do what he’s doing, it’s the method that’s wrong,” said Forrest. “Until the matter is (resolved), students can continue to sublet.” Under the Landlord and Tenant Act, tenants can sublet their units freely unless otherwise specified in a written tenancy agreement. Sunny. dale residents have no such agreement. Cilaser, however, says he is riot trying to force out the existing tenatits. As each unit is vacated by students, he plans to renovate the dwelling and rent it to a family. “We’ve given the tenants an option to forfeit their leases, which a lot of them have,” he said in an interview: last week. “The ones that are leaving now are leaving on their own accord.

UW’s 6‘m;arketing mentality” real threat to- real learning
.
UW is noted for its “innovation” in education. It is a curious and distressing innovation, however, when the words “market resistance” can be used by UW’s president Doug Wright (at a recent Board of Governor’s meeting) in referring to the erosion of accessibility as a result of computer fees at this. institution. The ideals of universal accessibility to post-secondary education, ideals which provided the reason for building this university in the first place, have been innovatively pushed aside. Education, once seen as a service provided to the public by taxpayers, is now seen as being “marketed” by the UW administration. In a typically selfish attitude, Doug Wright worries that market resistance might lower UW’s enrolment, and thus its income. What about the people who will be unable to aquire a university education because of the costs? Universal accessibility means everyone who is qualified should have access to university. To Doug Wright, universal accessibility seems to mean an unlimited market available for exploitation. Showing an utter lack of concern for the individual and social damage caused by unnecessarily high fees, he only worries that the erosion of accessibility might eventually hurt his budget. This mentality is a prime example of the very worst excesses of crass inhumanity that capitalism is capable of encouraging. Students, instead of being seen as human beings who have a need for education, come to be seen as blank cheques, upon which numbers can be written. The idea that a human being is an end in him/herself is lost. For Wright, a human being is only a means to profit. The end is personal gain, not for the “people”, or the society, but for the powerful few who have the means to manipulate and control the rest of us. Students, by ourselves, cannot stop this mercenary exploitation by Dr. Wright. But we can and must call upon the provincial government to intervene and protect this university and its students from the ruthless destruction of education in the name of technical research. We must demand that the government see to it that the money which it gives UW for our education in fact is spent on our education, and not on Dr, Wright’s latest money-making project. As taxpayers, we built and bought this university. It is rather obscene, as a taxpayer, to find Dr. Wright trying to sell me what I’ve already paid for, and doubly obscene to see him, in the recent computer fee squabble, displaying utter contempt for the people of Ontario and their government by a sneaky

ruse to weasel out of obeying government regulations. Has he forgotten that this university was built with taxpayers’ money, that most of his salary comes from taxpayers’ money, and that he is responsible for delivering a social service, not “marketing” an industrial p(oduct? But let’s face it, Doug Wright is a rather bizarre kind of civil servant. He clearly feels no responsibility to either the students or the government. His only sense of responsibility is to industry, and he sees the University of Waterloo as an industrial service which can be sold to business, not as a public institution with a duty to serve the public interest. While job-training and industrial research and development are undoubtedly useful and important things in their place, something seems vaguely amiss when the government’s education spending ends up being re-directed to help IBM and HewlettPackard make bigger profits. Not that IBM and H-P necessarily shouldn’t make bigger profits -- just that if the tax-payer is going to subsidize that with industrial R & D at universities, shouldn’t the taxpayer at least be consulted? And if educational dollars are going to be taken away from projects such as buying books for libraries or hiring profs for classrooms and put into computer research centres for industrial applications instead, shouldn’t the people of Ontario, and the students of Waterloo, whose money it is they are playing with, begin asking some very penetrating questions? Doug Wright keeps telling us that the university is short of money. Yet, money is consistently being found, or ripped off students, in order to pay for new, shiny, glittery high tech research projects. Meanwhile the university goes into the red, educational quality suffers, no books are bought for the library, and hiring of faculty is restricted. One has to ask if the problem is not more with spending priorities than with the size of the budget. UW cannot afford to provide a quality education and do very expensive high-tech industrial research at the same time. It has chosen the computer research over the business of education, and it is using our tuition and the tax dollars which the government provides to UW for our education to finance this enterprise. In the process, UW is becoming a second rate university academically, although it remains a first rate technical and vocational school. In other circumstances, Doug Wright’s actions might be called conversion and fraud, taking money from one budget and putting it into another. Doug Thompson

Why have we let it go this far?
by Cindy Long A nuclear reactor is burning on our planet. It doesn’t really matter where, does it? It could be 50 miles from where you live or where your parents, cousins, friends or children live. The cloud of radioactive smoke probablywon’t pass over Southern Ontario. Not this time. Lucky you. It’s not a matter of economics, nor of politics, human rights, environmentalism, nor any convenient “don’t look at me” newspaper term. It is a matter of choice. Human beings are capable of making choices. We exercise this capability constantly in our daily lives, yet for some reason, when it comes to decisions that affect not just the individual, but the social group, we all too often forfeit our right to make a choice, claiming helplessness and impotence. The point is we do hav6 the power of individual choice even if we cannot choose for others. Each and every one of us is capable of making his or her voice heard, capable of. dialing a telephone, capable of writing a letter, capable of making the choice to say no to nuclear anything. At least until we know enough about it and about ourselves to use it properly (which may be never). If an electricity generating plant which uses water or coal has a ‘major fire or an explosion, many people will be killed or hurt, the environment will be damaged and it will cost a lot of money to repair. If a plant which uses nuclear fission has such a disaster (as
just happened), the cost in dollars and lives makes the former example look like the proverbial spilt milk. Doesn’t the human and environmental safety factor outweigh any amount of efficiency or low cost? Somewhere we lost sight of our priorities. This planet will not look after us unless we look after it! Personally, 1am sick and tired of hearing technological groupies tell me how safe and efficient nuclear power is. 1am tired of seeing money spent by this province to aid Hydro’s shamefully clumsy attempts at nuclearizing the power industry. 1am tired of hearing politicians who, if they have children, must not give a damn about their future (or their own for that matter) “defer” decisions on makifig their municipalities nuclear free zones. I am also tired of feeling powerless to change anything. If 1 can’t make a change, then no one can, because we all share the same ability for choice. Conversely, ‘if 1 am to believe anyone can make a change or a choice, then 1 must believe that 1 can as well. So here’s my one tiny voice saying “No.” Think about radiation.. Think about scorched desert land, dying animals and trees, poisoned water, screaming children, agonized parents wondering why they let it go so far. Think about how long the half-life of plutonium is and about how you’d like td die. Think about how easy it is to calmly say “no”. Think about it with your heart, Then make your choice and make it heard any way you can.

Imprint March 27. 1 gather from his reaction to our article that Dave Simpson is above bad press, that his talents, or lack thereof, are beyond the comment of the Arts Section. Though we.are housed below him we certainly are not an underground organization bent on destroying the BEnt of The Feds. Our original opinion piece expressed grievances against the Entertainment office which showed a lethargic and incom1 petent attitude towards booking live music and good taped music at Fed Hall. A recap of the past eight months’ great entertainment moments is a brief experience. The highlight was K.D. Lang and the most daring show was the presentation of Vital Sines. The winter term featured cover bands and wrestling-leaving us to view CLUB 750 as the Coronet of North Watertoo. When approached with suggestions about possible bands, Mr. Simpson responds with a very pleasant fuck-off-and-die attitude. If Mr. Simpson believes he is beyond criticism, he will be terribly disappointed. If the Blushing Brides style bands are the order for the summer, he can expect bad press from this Subversive Organization.

Students to withhold co-op fees An Open Letter to President Wright We of the 5B class have decided to withhold the increase in co-op fees that has been levied again this term. We do not do this without considerble thought and patience: we do it because these increases are tantamount to illegal tuition fee increases. Were we to continue to allow these arbitrary and unilateral in. creases, we feel that we would be giving the administration of this university carte blanche to- pursue their policy of flouting the spirit, if not the letter, of the provincial government’s ceiling on fee increases. The increase to the co-op fee of $45 this term over the previous amount of $150 represents an increase of 30 per cent. This exorbitant level of usury comes at a time when we no longer receive any service from the co-op department, and they no longer ‘incur any expense on our behalf. had this increase borne some relationship to the cost of living or actual increases in the cost of the co-op system we might be able to accept them, but, in fact, the co-op department budget remained the same this year as last, and will actually decline by 2 per cent next year. This means that we are being levied an increase in fees, not because of the better service we receive, or because the cost of the co-op system is increasing, but because’the university is using whatever means at their disposal, no matter how arbitrary, to raise their revenue. The university is
calling this tuition increase by another name, because the provincial government has placed a ceiling on tuition fee increases. Over the six or .more years that we have been at this university we have experienced a huge increase in the so-called ‘incidental fees’ that threaten to render actual tuition fees incidental. At the same time, these incidental fees, if not paid, are grounds for withholding academic credit for work already done, and yet they are not considered tuition fees when the university set: about to increase its revenue. This self-contradictory interpretation of what constitutes ‘tuition’ is entirely self-serving. Because the co-op system is an obligatory part of the architecture program, the university can hold us to ransom for whatever increase they care to impose on us. However, despite the risk to ourselves, we can nc longer tolerate this behaviour. We call upon the administration to rescind these unwarranted increases, seriously address the real reasons for the decline in funding, and, in future, to respect the students as full participants with open discussion between students and administration regarding future funding issues.

Writers were pompous, ovkrbearing To the editor, Some readers may recall from last term an exchange of letters in the Forum about sex differences in chimpanzee behaviour. Despite the time that has passed, 1 feel’ 1 have to comment on the unmeritted attitude of superiority adopted by Chow and Parish, students of Systems Design and Geography, towards Ms. Dagg’s contribution to the debate. Why do they think they have any grounds for adopting such an overbearing, pompous tone towards Dr. Dagg, a lonq-time member of the academic community, a naturalist, a Ph.D. in Biology - Vertebrate Behaviour; and a woman who has spent decades of research, on campus and in the field, studying parallels between animal and human behaviour? She never claims to be the ultimate expert and she never flaunts her credentials. She presents her knowledge modestly and cour-
Spring is sprung, and everybody’s lolling on the greensward. It’s a time for sunning, swimming, planning holidays and ...weddings. The chapels are doing a boom trade in weddings this month, the merry month of May. And then there’s June. Every Saturday you see them, hand in hand, in rented finery, down by Laurel Lake being photographed. Photographs, as Susan Sontag says, provide evidence -evidence that we really looked like that, and were in love...once. But once is more than never, twice will take its toll, and thrice or more is overkill in marriage (the world record-holder, according to the Guinness Book of Records, has only been married 18 times). More and more the odds are against couples staying marriedseven out of 10 won’t-so why do we do it? For one of three reasons, say the studies, and which of the three depends largely on your age group. If you’re young, why, there’s no doubt about it: love (though a great passion, Plutarch warned long ago, and Masters and Johnson echoed recently, lasts no longer than seven years; most first-time divorces occur at the end of six years). If you’re middle-aged and want, or already have, children, child-nurture is the big factor in choice of mate. And if you’re getting on (45 marks the end of “youth” according to the ancients, so let’s say over 50), companionship will be the primary , reason. But there is a thread running through all these, whatever your age, need, or station-it’s sex. 1 quote from Michel Foucault’s History of Sexuaiity, vol. 1: “We have arrived at the point where we expect our intelligibility to come from what was for many centuries thought of as madness; the plenitude of our body from what was long considered its stigma and
teously, motivated by a respect for truth. She would never put Chow and Parish down, even though their letters reveal only a naive, partial understanding of the topic. They show a lot of fascination with aggressive behaviour sometimes found in malt. chimpanzees, but they are not able to handle the topic with academic rigour. So 1 am left with the question: why do Chow and Parish adopt such an overbearing posture towards Ms. Dagg? Could it be because she is a woman? Could it arise from their sentimental dream of an imaginary ‘noble savage’ society of ‘Alpha males’ and naturally subservient females? If so 1 advise them to learn human habits and forget about their jungle fantasies. Even the chimps would not put up with . those -.--- IWO. -.. _. Ann Hodgins B.A. Psychology
likened to a wound; our identity from what was Perceived as an obscure and nameless urge. Hence the importance we ascribe to it, the reverential fear withwhich we surround it, the care we take to know it. Hence the fact that over the centuries it has become more important than our soul, more important almost than life; and so it is that all the worlds enigmas appear frivolous to us compared to this secret, minuscule in each of us, but of a density that makes it more serious than any other. “Here in the West,” Foucault concludes, ‘“Sex is worth dying for.“ And whatever is worth dying for is worth going to the altar to secure. Oscar Wilde once quipped that “He who would live more lives than one must die more deaths than one.” Many people these days seem to approach marriage with that attitude. My cousin Joy, for example. She has been married five times, but the man she now lives with, in a houseboat on the Arkansas River, is common-law. When 1visited her recently, she told me, “Never again.” And then she showed me the mementoes she‘d received from each of her ex-husbands-a broken nose from one, from another the loss of hearing in one’ear, a dislocated shoulder from another, etc. “I just want to die before they do,” she confided to me. “Because 1want all of -them, all six, including Kenneth (the guy she lives with), to be pallbearers at my funeral.” Joy’s 43. She’s not out of the thickets of youth yet. The morass of middle age is still before her. (The Rev. Dr. Tom York is United Church chaplain?0 U. of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University.

’ Avant garde or--just junk? by Wayne reprinted Canadian
Johnson from the University
Fulcrum Press
So long as art is kept hidden’away in galleries and private collections, it cannot outrage or enrich the general public. But the moment it dares to step outside and show its face in the streets, it becomes controversial. More often than not, public art raises the public’s ire. In the eighties, conflict between art and the public has best been exemplified by Richard Serra’s Tilted Arc in lower Manhattan. Serra was commissioned to create a sculpture for the Federal Plaza, an open court next to office buildings housing government employees, in 1981. Tilted Arc is a 12-foot high, 120-foot long steel wall that draws an arc through the space of the plaza. Soon after it was installed, a thousand people signed a petition asking that it be removed. There were accusations that it inhibited people from using the plaza, that it was ugly, and-that it dampened people’s spirits. The protest against Tilted Arc has been main, tained with such intensity that in March 1985, public hearings were held to discuss whether the work should be removed. There are many locations where the piece would be more than welcome, but Serra designed it specifically for that site and claims that “to remove the work is to destroy the work.” Transformer Site, located on ‘the south side of Ottawa’s downtown, is another victim of public outrage. Selected for the location in 1982 by a jury made up of city politicians, local artists, and the former Ottawa chief of police, a motion to tear down the $20,000 sculpture introduced by Ottawa Mayor Jim Durrell this past January was passed unanimously. Residents would get more pleasure from fountains and benches than from “rusty pipes and pieces of concrete,” it wassaid.
Public
“The informed art community. . . is even less concerned with public response”
_
Most people naturally assume that art installed in a public place is for the enjoyment of those who encounter it. They expect public art to fit their existing conception of beauty, that it will immediately uplift their spirits. They are offended when they know a large sum of money, especially public money, has been squandered on something that does not satisfy these expectations. People seem to react with hsstility to that which they do not comprehend. Artists, on the other hand, may hope that people will enjoy their work, but probably of more concern is that they produce the best work their training as artists and their understanding of art enables them to produce. Just as engineers and scientists shape our environment using methods that are not always comprehended by the general public, so too do artists. The fact that an artist chooses to display his or her work in a public place indicates that s/he hopes it can have a positive interaction with the public. But, the artist’s expectations of what form that interaction will take may be very different from the public’s What may beg called the “informed” art community . takes yet another approach to public art. They are even less concerned with public response. They see works of public art in the context of art history and look for qualities in it that will win for the work the adjective “significant.” That the art is public is important because it means the work will influence how that time and place are perceived. They are offended by public art that is mundane because of the damage it may do to the city’s, the province’s, or even the country’s image. In an article in The Globe and Mail entitled “Sculptural Eye-Bruisers Spring Up All Too Often to Uglify Public Spaces,” John Bentley Mays uses a tone of outrage usually employed by the general public when addressing public art. He was abhorred by the low quality of art in Toronto’s public places and pointed his finger at “corporate art buyers” love for the mediocre and vapid.” Interestingly enough, he felt the quality of the work would improve if there was more input from the public. But what of the’corporate and governmental bodies that fund public art? So often debates over public art focus on the conflict between what they want and what the artists want to give them; rarely are the objectives of the funding body considered. In some ways, those who fund public art are in a bit of a bind -they want to please both the artist and the audience.
.
art has always
been a centre
of contkoversy
.They are seeking to boost their image by providing something the public will admire, but at the same time, they are making a long-term investment in the hopes that history will applaud their foresight and critical acumen. However, the pressures of immediate acceptance usually dictate a work that is safe and popular -a work that will-not attract any attention from outside’ the city. When a decision is made to go for something ‘more advanced,’ an artist may be selected, not because her or his work is admired by the funding body, but because s/he has an established reputation.
dates and have a balanced jury select from the list. While this system may result in the most appropriate choice, the real issue develops after the selection has been made. Never will everyone be satisfied, and, more often than not, some group will try to override the decision of the jury. In some cases, the funding body has formed a committee of art consultants, corporate representatives, and members of the public only to reject their selection and give the commission to an artist more compatible with their expectations. In other instances, the work has already been installed and public protest has led to its removal.
“If the public chooses, .will public art become embarassingly naive monuments to banality?
In Toronto, there is an eight-member selection committee for public art which is authorized to prevent public art that is seen to endanger the city’s aesthetic integrity from being erected. In one celebrated example, a sculptor produced a work for the Hospital for Sick Children at her own expense and 1gave it to the Hospital. The Hospital accepted the work gratefully, but the committee refused to-allow it to be installed because it did not meet their criteria of artistic quality.
People seem to be more sensitive about public art purchased with public money than that which is funded by corporations. But, it is interesting to note that the expense may be considered a tax write-off if the art is “given” to the city, even if it remains on the corporation’s private property. But there’s more to this story than the opinions of the public, the artists, the corporate donors and the art community -- future generations will evaluate our society by the public art we erect. This hardly means we should attempt to predict what will be popular in the future; rather we should support artists who are working on the ~frontiers, artists whose work can be recognized now, and will be recognized in the future, as important. Perhaps most people would be more open-minded if they recalled that, throughout history, art that was immediately embraced by the masses was later derided or ignored, while art that is now admired, disturbed its first public audience. iQ Who, then, should be given the responsibility to select public art? If the public chooses, will public art become embarrassingly naive monuments to banality? If the art community decides how to spend public money, isn’t that cultural despotism? Should the funding body have artistic control over public art? Surely parties should have a voice in the matter, as is, in fact, often the case; but art professionals should be granted some authority which would allow them to control the selection. If the goal of a project is to erect something that will make everyone’s daily walk to work more pleasant, then there are cheaper and more effective solutions than public art. The objectives of public art have more to do with establishing a cultural identity, supporting the arts, and expanding aesthetic sensibilities. The selection of an art work that will win admiration from a geographically and temporally broader audience is something that requires professional input. One method that seems to work well is for an art consultant to draw up a list of viable candi-
“Trying to arrtact a bigger audience has nothing to do with the makincjof art.” But the question remains as to who should have the’ final word: the funding organization that cries “It’s our money,” the art community that cries “We know art,” or the public who cry “We will have to live with it”? The conflict will not so much be one of artistic taste as one between courage and foresight on one hand and reactionary provincialism on the other. The outcome will determine the community’s cultural identity. Although the artist will acknowledge these questions; ultimately s/he will focus on the integrity of her or his work. To design a work for a public place. requires that the artist consider public reaction but that does not necessarily mean catering to public tastes. As Richard Serra declared, “Trying to attract a bigger ,audience has nothing to do with the making of art. It has to do with making yourself into a product, only to be consumed by people. Working this way allows society to determine the terms and the concept of art; the artist must then fulfill those terms. I find the idea of populism art defeating.” Installing provocative or challenging art in a public place may disturb many people, but as the art startles and antagonizes, perhaps it will also awaken and enlighten.

Montrea jazz rockers ignite the Coronet by Peter Lawson An alternative music night took place at the Coronet April 27. An alternative style of music at the Coronet? That was no misprint, the powers that be placed Montreal jazz-rockers UZEB on the Coronet stage. The band displayed their talents over a two and a half hour set, focusing on the music from their latest album Between the Lines. With more than five years in the business, this band has ample music to perform, and even introduced the K-W crowd to a few new works. Michel Cusson (guitarist and lead composer) introduced a new tune, Time Square an impression of his first trip to New York City and a classic journey in a yellow cab. Cusson added a wonderful chop of
chaos to the music, which was supported by the journeying of Alsin Caron’s walking bass line. The house was not packed (a marginal crowd at best), but the patrons were terribly enthusiastic, standing up to win two encores. The first encore selection highlighted Caron on his six-string fretless bass. He produced a moving leggato bassline which possessed a squeeze of pathos, and this mood was passed to Cusson for a highend solo. The evening closed with a sizzling, rocking number which sent’m stompn’ home. This unit possesses musical talent in Cusson, Caron, Jean St. Jacques (keyboards), and Paul Brochu (drums). They will soon be touring Western Canada, including a stop at Expo, followed by an l&city tour of
the Eastern and Mid-Western states. The opening act was K-W’s Line One (formerly Good Food) who cooked for a 40-minute set led by Dale Marcell, the bands spiritual drive. I, unfortunately, missed the set because of an oversight. Remember this was a Sunday night show-do not show up at 9:30 and expect the band to play until 1:00 when the bar closes at ll:OO-right. The sound at the Coronet was very good for this type of music. The volume was full but not oppressive, and the sound was clean though there was a buzz from the bass amplifier. Future shows are possible, maybe Line One will be granted a night of their own. Keep your options and opinions open for other alternative concerts. -

by Pete Laws’on Imprint staff I had it on my list, yes I had it on my list, to see the K-W Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s production of the Mikado. The opening show was THE event April 9 at the Humanities Theatre (on campus) and the concluding show ran April 12.

The show was good but lacked the sparkle of last year’s production of Patience. The show extended for approximately 2% hours and draggged at times, especially in the first act. The first act highlight was On the Lost, a song about whom the Grand Excutioner should execute. He must find someone to execute to retain his position as Lord High Executioner of Titipu. While dragging out various lists (one was a stack of
The second act was a brighter hour with the resolution of the plot and everyone living happily ever after. Bruce Bricknell as the Lord High Executioner topped the second act with his ham in “Here’s a how-de-do”, with his clownish gags and his humourous shuffle steps. Devin Dalton supplied regal badness to the singing of “A more humane Mikado” with ease of voice and distinct diction. His menacing
character strutted about snapping his kingsize fan at stage and audience. The main cast players were well represented by Wayne Berwick (male lead) and Alison Watson (female lead). The top comedy moments were milked by Bruce Bricknell and received support from Paul Nowak, Deborah Millar, and Jennifer Toews. Minor players Jennifer Gamble and Jason Parkhill added their support to the action. This show lacked the zip that made the Stratford production famous, but for an amateur production, this show supplied a good, though long, slice of entertainment. What other venue allows you to see old friends on stage playing just for the fun of it?
Movie Memorablilia How would you like a summer job with flexible hours, travel, interesting people and plenty of time in the sun? This is what David Lee, a recent UW Recreation graduate, has managed to obtain for himself by combining his hobby of collecting movie posters with a notion of the interest and demand this memorabilia could create among the general public. After receiving an encouraging response from the initial sale of posters held last term in the Campus Centre, David saw the idea of a travelling poster sale was not only enjoyable but also financially rewarding. Thus, the show will now be touring universities that are in session during the summer, outdoor festivals, sidewalk art displays and shopping malls. David’s sale is linked to the Hollywood Canteen, a movie buff’s dream located on the Danforth in Toronto. Run by Mike Orlando, reputed to have the world’s best Bogart poster collection, the store is jam packed full of posters, books, promotional photos and every other kind of movie-related collectables imaginable. According to David the current hot posters are from Cobra, the upcoming Stallone movie (“If Crime Is A Disease, Meet The Cure.“), along with classics such as Rebel Without a Cause, Casablanca and Wizard of Oz. The show will be coming to the CC on May 13-15.

border. His list of the “worst of”, however, becomes repetitive and tedious. We really don’t have to be told that shows such as The Dukes of Hazard have no redeeming social value; that is self-evident. And Wolfe’s description of Canadian television as an “oasis” may be stretching it. Even the CBC, which broadcasts many of the American shows which Wolfe finds so offensive, has a long way to go before it can be said to be fulfilling its original mandate to mirror Canadian society and culture.
and
by Rick Nigol Most people are ready to acknowledge that television is, by and large, a vast wasteland of inane programming interrupted only by tasteless commercials. Yet, as Morris Wolfe explains in his book JOLTS, we rarely take television seriously, and therefore, seldom ponder its cultural implications. Considering that Canadians watch an average of 25 hours of TV a week, that 80 per cent of what we watch comes from the U.S., and that, for many, TV is a major window on the world around them, Wolfe argues that we should care about what appears on our sets. Wolfe compares’ TV today to the drug Soma in Aldous Huxley’s futuristic Brave New World. Like soma, TV is designed for a passive and easily maleable population. The only difference, as Wolfe puts it, is that television is “ingested visually instead of orally.” According to Wolfe, the reason that there is so little of substance on TV is that most programmers follow “The First law of Commercial. Television.” This “law” holds that viewers must constantly be “jolted” or they will lose interest and change the channel. Jolts may include acts of physical, emotional or verbal violence, car crashes, explosions, soft porn, or rapid editing. Wolfe notes that in one episode of The A-Team, a very popular U.S. adventure series, there were 51 jolts in total nearly one a minute. Miami Vice, a currently top-
some some
x
rated cop show, also has a very high jolt per minute ration. It has all the usual jolts - murders, car crashes, beatings, explosions, etc. and combines these with scenes which resemble tightly edited rock videos. Wolfe contends that what the proramme is about (vice cops battling crime in Miami) is not as important as what the programme actually is (an orgy of choreographed violence). As communications guru Marshall McLuhan once said, the medium itself i_s the message. Referring to Miami Vice, Wolfe says: “ . . . as with rock videos, plot doesntt make sense. All that matters is the tension built up in the viewer through the beat of the music and the editing. The programme plays with the viewers nervous system.” While outlining the schlock parade that is American TV, Wolfe

won’t,I don’t know
makes an interesting comparison with Canadian programming. Wolfe contends that, on the whole, Canadian TV is far more thoughtful and less reliant on jolts per minute than American TV. He compares U.S. kid shows, game shows, religious shows, cop shows, and dramas to their Canadian counterparts, most produced by the CBC. A particularly interesting contrast is drawn between the shallow glitz and crass commercialism of many American religious programmes and the CBC’s insightful and penetrating Man Alive, hosted by Roy Binisteel. Wolfe contrasts Seeing Things, a popular Canadian mystery series, with American detective series which rely far more on violence to carry them. Wolfe does a thorough job of describing the garbage that finds its way onto our screens from south of the
The real strength of Wolfe’s book lies in his analysis of the cultural impact of TV. He says that the TV generation, reared on a high level of jolts per minute programming, has a low boredom threshold. They are more prone to extremes in attitude and behaviour. Wolfe illustrates this by making an interesting observation about radicals in the TV age: “It used to be that if you were a radical, you devoted your whole life to your radical cause. One thinks of Gandhi or Martin Luther King or J.S. Woodsworth. But some American radicals who’ve grown up in the age of television are different. They often do a stint in support of one radical cause and then move on to something radically different. In the 1960s Jerry Rubin led an American revolutionary movement, the Yippies; in the 1980s he’s a Wall Street broker who, among other things, runs a singles bar and is an apologist for the Yuppies. In the 1960s Eldridge Cleaver led the Black Panthers; today he’s a born-again Christian and ..a supporter of Ronald Reagan. ” Wolfe also traces a general decline in literacy and a numbness to

violence and suffering to the pervasiveness of TV in our lives. A number of positive recommendations on how to improve Canadian programming are provided by Wolfe. Firstly, he says that we should forget about trying to regulate private TV networks such as CTV (once described in a UN study as the most violent of 30 networks examined around the world) and Global TV. They will not spend great amounts of money on producing Canadian programmes when there are ‘magnificent profits to be made simply by purchasing readymade American programmes. Wolfe recommends that surtaxes be placed on imported programmes and films and on cable profits and that this money be pumped into Canaidan programming, primarily through a revamped CBC. More money and independence, says Wolfe, should be given to the CBC in order that it can become a truly and thoroughly Canadian network. Our cultural independence depends on it. “The CBC is writing the autobiography of Canada,” Wolfe notes. “It’s important that it be well written.” Wolfe also-urges parents to teach their children how to use TV as a useful learning tool and not to rely on it as simply a handy substitute baby sitter. As well, he urges that television be taken seriously and that TV criticism become a standard classroom subject. Although Wolfe covers much of the same territory that McLuhan did 20 years earlier, he provides a fresh perspective and updated analysis of the cultural impact of TV. He is right in saying that we should be concerned with what appears on “the tube” and what it does to us.

Depeche Mode’s Black Celebration is no great departure from the band’s previous efforts, save for a more developed and smoother sound to their brand of synthesized industrial music. For those of you who love to wallow in depression and despair, then this is the album for you. It is laden with morose notions of death, mingled with ethereally hedonistic passions. There are, nevertheless, tracks of a more pleasant nature for those who find Depeche Mode’s bitter outlook on life hard to swallow. The band’s habitual genre of contorted sexual imagery and fatality is strikingly weird. Lyrics like “Let me see you stripped down to the bone,” typifies their taste for flagrant necrophilia. Having drifted through much -misery, the band mercifully emerges
from the seemingly endless chasm of decay with the song ‘But not tonight.’ It is a timely but welcome bit of relief-Thankfully, Depeche Mode has some zest for life left despite all the album’s morbidity. As the band becomes immersed in its degenerate view of life, a compelling sense of emotionality surfaces in Martin Gore’s vocals. He has managed to put some intensity into his singing, whereas before his approach was rather mechanical and indifferent. Somehow, this fits well with the instrumentation that is seemingly so metallic, yet so melodious. The combination of Gore’s pleasant vocalizing and carefully arranged instrumentation gives the band its musical integrity and thus an identity that is unparalleled. All the songs are good. Tracks like ‘Black Celebration’, ‘But Not Tonight’, and ‘A Question of Lust’, work really well, the last being my favourite. ‘Fly on the Windscreen’, another song that deserves mentioning. has an infectious hard driving d&ce beat. It’s good stuff!
James: Manchester’s best
by Paul Done Imprint staff
With a mere two singles, James have managed to establish themselves as perhaps the world’s best vegetarian band - even better than The Smiths. Sit Down is the third single by James and the first for their new label. The three songs.on the EP are a quirky, distinctive and interesting as the songs on their first
Half singles compilation and half new material, Neither WashingNor Moscow...is all great. Over the last four years the Redskins have produced a collection of classic singles, starting with Leu Bronstein/Peasant Army in 1982 all the way to this year’s The Power Is Yours. Five of the bands six singles are included on the album along with six new(ish) tracks. Led by Moore, the mighty motormouth himself, the Redskins play every song in their repertoire with a frenzy caused either by oversized adrenal glands or large amounts of amphetamine. The slow sonsssuch as The Power Is Yours... and Take No Heroes! are full of clenched-fist, tooth-spitting intensity while the allout, high-speed soul attacks of the likes of Go Get Organized!, Hold On! or the magnificent Let’s Make It Work! are played with head-spinning speed and ferocity. Every, song on the album is a socialist anthem of sorts and the lyrics of each are in harshest black- and white terms:“Success comes-to the strong the struggle’s hard and the struggle’s long. Lean on me and I will pull you
manner. Lyrically, James deal with far more difficult themes than The Smiths such as the limiting nature of male stereotypical . roles in Chain Mail (read “Chained Male”). Uprising deals with the sense of limitations which overcomes one shortly after achieving what we previously perceived as “freedom” - “The sky is my ceiling, the horizons my walls.” James continue to produce some of the most interesting pop around and despite the fact that it was produced by ex-Patti Smith band member Lenny Kaye, Sit Down is a simply fab single.
two singles. James (who are incidentally The Smiths’ favourite band) are a mixture of folksy, nursery rhyme melodies, jangly guitars, a tight melodic bass-playing and some of the most intriguing, incisive lyrics being produced. While fellow Mancunians The Smiths tend to rely on Johnny Marr for all their musical interest, James are a far more balanced band. The fact that the members have played together for about five years is quite evident in the way the band bounces musical themes off one another in an almost jazz-like improvizational

Country Of The Blind and Stranger on Home Ground are essential
by Paul Done
Bursting onto the music scene with two of last year’s best singles, The Faith Brothers caused quite a ripple among the music press last year. Dismissed by some as mere Stax/Motown revivalists and lauded by others for their freshness, enthusiasm and fine songwriting, The Faith Brothers have produced a debut album which unfortunately doesn’t live up to the promise of Country Of The Blind, Stranger On Home Ground or Newtown -their finest song available only on an ultra-rare flexidisc.
,
The 11 songs which made up theBritish version ‘of Eventide ‘are covered in a dull grey aural paste caused by bad production and an ill-conceived musical direction for the band. The Faith Brothers seem to be trying to slow their music down from the breakneck pace which characterised their singles. Sadly, this robs the songs of their intensity and leaves them duller and muddier than they should be. All is not lost though, the domestic version of the album has the Asides of their first two singles included and these alone are worth the price of the album. With punchy horn lines, solid rhythm section work and ,Billy Franks’ powerful, charged lead vocals, both The
As if to add insult to iniurv. the Faith Brothers have included-re-recorded versions of Euentide and Easter Parade on the album. When they appeared as the extra tracks on the 12” of The Country..., they matched the intensity of the A-side, however the versions on the album are a pale shadow of the originals. Though Eyentide is a disappointment as an album, at least there is comfort in the fact that the great Country Of The Blind and Stranger on Home Ground are now available on a domestic album.
